Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Reliable, friendly, competent staff. Regular care plan reviews and any changes made immediately, which is always reassuring. Bluebird Care understands Mums and family needs and always happy to discuss any concerns and proactively act to support care needs. Office staff always available to contact and
are always friendly and professional, and whilst always maintaining discretion in all areas of contact, whether that be face to face or on the phone.

The Bluebird team have been wonderful in providing the care and support Mum and Dad need. They see the same carers week in week out and have been able to build a trusting relationship with them. Mum and Dad want to live out their lives in the place they have called home for the past two decades and
are confident they should be able to with support of Bluebird team.

I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in January 2020. I live alone and engaged Bluebird to help me. The nurses who came were all very helpful as the steroids I was given impacted my health as I was unable to cope by myself. I had a setback in the spring of 2021 and applied to Bluebird again. They
have come to me twice a week for a bath. I also have arthritis.

The Bluebird carers are excellent one and all. Always in uniform and complete with whatever is required in these difficult times of covid. Mostly spot on time wet or dry, always pleasant and ready to do whatever is necessary and more, yes nothing is too much for them in the time that they have been
coming to our house. My partner has always been treated with respect and she is very happy with the service she gets.

All night sitters were punctual and professional and always arrived with a smile on their face.
They were all friendly and very supportive, particularly in the early days when my anxiety levels were high.
I appreciated that they were always happy to listen and have a chat when they arrived.

Review from A P (Daughter of Client) published on 20 July 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother's condition deteriorated rapidly and she became confined to bed. She now needed two carers instead of one and we were impressed that Bluebird responded immediately in time for the next call. The carers are always dressed appropriately and are always very kind, caring and courteous. My mother
gets very fearful when she's moved and the carers gently explain what is happening in order to reassure her. We are very pleased with the care given and impressed with the politeness and professionalism of the carers.

The standard of help we received as a family was wonderful. Everyone was so helpful and a comfort to us all. When my husband was able to speak, he said he was getting the best, which were comforting words to us. The nurses were so cheerful and friendly and always had a smile on their face. They made
sure all our needs were fulfilled - a huge thank you to all.

It became necessary for me to have an operation on my right hand on 16th September 2020. It was also necessary to have help to wash and dress me as I live alone. It was arranged with Bluebird that helps with care morning and evening. The helpers were good and professional and the visited a success.

We have not used the service for long and have 2 one hour visits a week at the moment. I am happy with the standard of care and its reliability. Mum is happy with her visits and I like how it is usually the same person. I feel secure knowing that in the future we will need to increase the care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Bluebird Care Newport is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.794 for Bluebird Care Newport is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 102 Ratings = 4.794
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Bluebird Care Newport is based on 17 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
